Daston Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 the bottom half of it is clipped on just unclip it and remove the bottom half then take the rest of it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 You don't need to remove the cowl to change the belt though. Take it off the pulleys first then it just slips over the fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Don't do that, just put a 14mm socket on the nut in the centre of the tensioner and turn it clockwise to release the tension enough to get the belt off and the new one on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
